I haven’t written about this Twin Peaksreboot because I never really believed it would happen. I’ve heard rumors about it returning for years and if wishing could make it so, I would love to see it start up again even if just for old times’ sake. I don’t think I ever missed one show. Simply put, I loved it.

When Showtime announced they were going to do nine new shows, I started to get a little excited. Silly me. David Lynch, one of the creators of Twin Peaks, is backing out of the project—all about money, of course. Why is everything always about money?

Doing Twin Peaks without David Lynch wouldn’t be a bunch of fun. Cast members have a few things to say about that.

It all could still happen. Or not. None of this is life and death and I’m just going to believe it when I see it.

In January of 2013, rumors were flying that the old television show, “Twin Peaks,” would be returning. I even wrote about it here. I’d heard those rumors before and didn’t put much stock in them.

What I’m writing about today isn’t a rumor. It’s real and maybe you’ve already heard the news. “Twin Peaks” willbe returning sometime in early 2016. Showtime has ordered nine shows. These shows will be written by creators David Lynch and Mark Frost and Lynch will also direct them all.

Mark Frost did a pretty good Q & A interview with the Los Angeles Times about bringing the show back. Here, I’m sharing it with you.

We haven’t done a question of the week thing in, well, weeks. I’m excited about “Twin Peaks” returning after being away for 25 years. Are you?

I know I’ve written about “Twin Peaks” here before, probably about a possible reboot of this TV series from the 90’s. That reboot ain’t gonna happen.

I’ve never made a secret (why the hell would I?) that I love this series. I still watch it a lot on YouTube and it never gets old to me. It is a strange, strange, strange show. Strange is good.

The Huffington Post recently posted an article entitled “11 Reasons You Need to Watch (Or Rewatch ‘Twin Peaks.’” It’s kind of cute so I’m sharing it here. I don’t know—maybe make it a “Twin Peaks” February. It’s something different to do until we get to spring.

I want to point out that the HuffingtonPost made an error when it stated that David Lynch’s 1990’s series was a hit. “Twin Peaks” was never a hit. It started strongly but lost a lot of its audience when it was moved to a Saturday night time slot. It only lasted a season and a half. Still, it was a cool show.

OK, enough. I’m going to YouTube to watch some “Twin Peaks.” I hope you join me and/or do whatever you want.
